Why the blood needs to be pumped through the lung and all parts of the body?

The blood is pumped through your lungs and other parts of your body to carry oxygen and other necessary nutrients throughout your body. It also carries the wastes like carbon dioxide out of your body. It is necessary for the blood to pass through your lungs so that your blood can pick up the oxygen and to get rid of the carbon dioxide that it picked up in the body.
